HDU, Lucy Snowe has never done anything wrong a day in her life! ...but also yeah, she is definitely an odd duck, and while her total inability to go after what she wants ever is at least partly society's fault (she really can't go up to John Graham Bretton and tell him "I'm in love with you! How do you like them apples??"), part of it is also that Lucy just seems to think that "Life sucks and then you die" is an inescapable prophecy so why even bother trying to find employment she enjoys.
I will remain forever fascinated by her relationship with Ginevra, though, because she says again and again that she doesn't like Ginevra, but at the same time, she seems to really like the way that Ginevra relentlessly pursues her? She always shares her coffee and rolls with Ginevra, always picks Ginevra as her partner when there are treats going around... this is not the way to get someone to stop hanging around you, Lucy!
Does Andrea just have no character arc at all? Does Michaels just hook her up with the political columnist and call it a day? (I'm assuming they get together; otherwise the book has literally no point at all except for Jim bonding with the sad house ghost to guide her into the light, in which case shouldn't Jim and the sad house ghost have been the MCs??)
